HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that affects the immune system, particularly the white blood cells called CD4 cells. If not treated, HIV can lead to the disease AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), in which the immune system is severely weakened and the body is less able to fight infections and illnesses.
An HIV test is recommended for anyone who has had unprotected sex, used drugs with shared needles, or run other risks of exposure to the virus. Early detection is crucial for managing the virus and preventing transmission to others. Knowing your HIV status can lead to timely treatment, which significantly improves health and life expectancy.
The presence of HIV antibodies or antigen in the blood. A positive result means you are infected with the HIV virus.
A high level of HIV in the blood, often measured as viral load, indicates an active infection and a higher risk of transmitting the virus to others. It may also indicate a recent infection or progression to AIDS if left untreated.
A low level of HIV in the blood, or an undetectable viral load, means the virus is well under control, often due to effective antiretroviral therapy. This reduces the risk of transmission to others and improves the overall health and life expectancy of the infected person.

Answers to what people usually want to know.
After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.
Often within a few working days. How soon you can be seen depends on how busy the location is and the type of analysis. For specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.
At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.
That depends on the test. Whether fasting is required, and from what time, is clearly stated in the instructions you receive after ordering. No surprises at the counter.
It varies per analysis: from same-day to a few working days. Standard values often come back quickly; analyses that go to an external lab can take a bit longer. You get an email with a link to your digital result, including a short explanation per value.
We work with 1,000+ collection points across the Netherlands. After ordering you'll see which locations near you are available and you pick where you'd like to go.

Hele fijne en snelle service! Ik contacteerde ze ‘s nachts omdat ik zsm moest bloedprikken, ik kon die ochtend nog terecht en heb dezelfde dag mijn uitslag binnengekregen. Echt top!!

Waar ziekenhuizen moeilijk doen om checkup te doen , komt Bloedcheckup naar boven drijven als vertrouwde partner op gebied van gezondheid. Ik ben uiterst tevreden met bloed checkup
“Klantenservice was erg behulpzaam in…”
Klantenservice was erg behulpzaam in het beantwoorden van mijn vragen. Ik had ook een extra setje buizen nodig als back-up en dat was geen probleem. Ik had een groot test panel besteld, maar de resultaten waren binnen 1 week binnen. Rapport zag er netjes uit.
“Snelle en goede service”
Je hebt de spullen snel in huis en het is duidelijk wat je daarna moet doen. Ook de uitslag heb je snel in huis, ik dezelfde avond al de eerste uitslagen. Bij een bepaling ging het fout, niet eens door het bedrijf maar door het bloedafname punt en die bepaling kreeg ik gewoon vergoed, ook het geld terug stond erg snel op mijn rekening. Vragen worden ook snel beantwoord dus al met al een positieve ervaring bij Bloedcheckup.nl
“Fijn bedrijf met geweldig veel opties…”
Fijn bedrijf met geweldig veel opties om zelfstandig je gezondheid in het oog te houden, als sporter een must want de dokters hebben toch geen verstand van wat relevant en anders is voor sport. Ook zeer tevreden over Stijn zelf! Aangename kerel en goed bereikbaar voor vragen en hulp tijdens bestellen :D

Snelle en makkelijke afhandeling. Duidelijke instructies en binnen anderhalve dag al resultaat binnen. Top service!
“Amazing service!”
Received a packet with everything needed, went to a walk in clinic (Amsterdam DC Clinic) where my blood was drawn and I was out the door within 5 minutes, and then after posting the samples, received results 2 days later. Results were easy to understand as well. Amazing service, would highly recommend!
